Ada Louise Huxtable, the dean of architecture critics, died today. She was the first architecture critic for The New York Times and the first journalist to win the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1970. Writing into her 90s for the Wall Street Journal, she contributed a piece on New York City's Public Library just last month.

"Every architecture critic will be in her debt forever," said architecture critic Paul Goldberger on Twitter.
